VarI-COSI: Identification and annotation of genetic variants in the context of structure, function, and disease.
GENERAL INFO:
WHAT: Variant Interpretation COSI Session at the ISMB/ECCB Conference
WHEN: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM, July 24th, 2017
WHERE: Hall IA, Prague Convention Center, Prague, Czech Republic.

VarI-COSI Session 2017 - Preliminary Program
COSI AIMS:
The primary goal of the VarI-COSI is to outline and discuss the recent advances in the methodology for the annotation and analysis of genetic variants.
Building upon the experience of the previous VarI-SIG and SNP-SIG editions:
-
VarI-SIG 2016 in Orlando, July 9, 2016
-
VarI-SIG 2015 in Dublin, July 11, 2015
-
VarI-SIG 2014 in Boston, July 12, 2014
-
SNP-SIG 2013 in Berlin, July 19, 2013
-
SNP-SIG 2012 in Long Beach, July 14, 2012
-
SNP-SIG 2011 in Vienna, July 15, 2011.
and other international workshops and meetings
(e.g. AIMM2010, CAGI, HGVS 2010 and PSB2011)
the VarI-COSI will serve to build a research network ,
facilitating the exchange of ideas and the establishment of new
collaborations within the community. Thus, Vari-COSI will strive
to meaningfully contribute to the management of the complexity of the
analysis and evaluation of genetic variants.
We are interested in submissions describing original work in all the fields of genetic variants research including, but not limited to "genetic variants in":
sequence analysis
protein structure and function
protein interactions and molecular networks
transcriptomics and gene regulation
disease models and epidemiology
population genetics and evolution
comparative genomics
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Databases, data mining algorithms and visualization tools for genetic variants analysis
Methods for predicting regulatory/structural/functional impacts of genetic variants
Personal Genomics, GWAS studies and SNV prioritization
Population genomics and phylogenetic analysis
